Big difference?

So the pic on the left is me about a year and a half ago before I got serious about this getting in shape stuff. I think I was probably 310 or so. And actually nervous to get on a southwest flight because of how they treat people. The picture on the right is about 2 weeks ago, I was down about 20 pounds from my starting weight of 305. Not looking to get the ego stroked, I just feel like I still look huge in the face. Not that I expect chiseled cheekbones at 280, but just thought I'd see a more dramatic difference.

    There is a definite difference. I can see it in your cheeks and chin. Keep up the good work and know that we are always our hardest critic.

    There is most definitely a noticeable difference! The problem is we get too used to seeing ourselves, plus we're usually our own worst critics! Fantastic!!

    Same here, I can see it in the chin and neck. I'm about at the same place you are. Started 308, current 287.

    I see a difference in your face!! Your doing great! Keep logging and keep up the good work. Maybe you could take measurements and record those along with your weight so that even if you don't feel or see a change your numbers can prove it to you. We are always our worst enemy!

I know that it will take me a lot longer to see the difference, but I will accept you folks are all being honest and not just that nice... well, you are all that nice, but not "that" nice. lol Get it? Got it? Good! Thanks again for taking the time to comment folks.
